Safety
General
All Cobolt 06-01 Series lasers are Class IIIB (CDRH), Class 3B (IEC) laser products which emit less than 500 mW of laser
radiation within the visible spectrum. The residual emission does not exceed Laser Class 1.
Eye and skin exposure to direct or reflected laser light is hazardous and may be extremely harmful. Always wear eye
protection appropriate to the beam wavelength and intensity. Lasers may pose a risk of igniting flammable materials
and in event of ignition gasses and fumes may be generated. All equipment used in close proximity to the laser beam
should be suitably fire resistant and the facility should be properly ventilated. It is advised to perform a risk assessment
for the facility and equipment prior to using the laser. In the case of integration into a larger system, laser safety
compliance must be evaluated in the end product. The device must be handled by skilled personnel experienced with
lasers, in a laboratory environment and with access to adequate laser safety equipment.
The laser head clearly displays a yellow warning label that shows the location of the laser beam aperture. This label
must be visible unless the laser beam is totally enclosed.
If the laser does not function, do not attempt to open any of the units, or the warranty will be voided. Call or e-mail
your local Cobolt representative for consultancy and to request an RMA number (see back cover for contact
information).
CAUTION
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of any procedures other than those
specified herein may result in exposure to hazardous radiation.
